The UMWACC was created in 1996 to provide services to dislocated coal miners and has evolved into a full-service workforce training center.
The UMWACC focuses on providing workforce training for adults in rural coal mining communities of Appalachia, catering to both incumbent workers and new entrants to the workforce.
We demonstrate a commitment to addressing the diverse needs and interests of our students by offering a range of approved training programs. The goal is to equip individuals with the skills and knowledge necessary for occupations in demand.
